Great Backyard Bird Count
The
Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is a great way to learn about and
enjoy your local birds, engage with family and friends, and join thousands
across the country in submitting observations to the GBBC database.
Simply count any birds you observe in your backyard, local park or
other location for just 15 minutes on one or more days between February
17 and 20, and report your findings online at http://birdcount.org.
Learn more about participating in the GBBC at http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/howto.html.
Bring a friend anytime on Saturday February 18, 9 AM – 4 PM to count birds at Anita Purves Nature Center.
Share your GBBC experience throughout your social networks; for Twitter, use #gbbc.
Seeking

Please give us a hand with membership duties. Someone is needed to

out mailing labels for the monthly newsletter. The estimated time
commitment is approximately 2 hours per month. If you are interested,
please email Janet Jokela
or Darin Eastburn. Thank
you.

The e-newsletter gives
you the same important information you value, while helping your
membership dues go farther. When you subsribe, it reduces costs
for printing and mailing, freeing up more resources to support education
and conservation.
You can also feel good knowing you are reducing the need for paper,
and, you will get your e-newsletter sooner than the paper
copy! Thank you!
Seeking
CCAS Friends
If you have not already done so, please consider
supporting CCAS as a “CCAS Friend.” As a member of the
National Audubon Society, you are also automatically a member of
the Champaign County Audubon Society; however, NAS has largely phased
out their dues sharing program in which CCAS once received a share
of the dues that you paid for National membership. When you become
a Friend of CCAS, we keep 100% of your CCAS Friend donation. This
support will help us to be financially self sufficient, while sharing
the same goals as National Audubon. Please click here
for more information. We are grateful for your support. Thank you!
